[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 699045, member: 20051"] Uggh. Schizophrenia. That is a tough one, horrible, horrible disease. I am assuming she isn't functioning at a high enough level to be of any real assistance to you. You are in a tough position, and, your grandson hasn't had any breaks in life. A schizophrenic abusive mother and then an abusive grandfather. It doesn't sound like he had many soft places to land, either. I don't know much about your elder care program, but have you tried NAMI? Maybe they will be able to help you or guide you. I think part may be that your grandson has his own emotional baggage and part is that he is taking advantage because he knows that he can intimidate you. He needs to get on some sort of path and do something productive with his life whether it is get an education or a job or some job training. I am also assuming that you know that mental illness has a very strong genetic component. You GS may be depressed and self medicating. Actually, I would be surprised if he weren't depressed, actually. You work still, and I am assuming that you have health insurance. Do you have an Employee Assistance Program? (EAP) it sounds like you are in several abusive situations and you really eed some help and direction in sorting this out. [/QUOTE]
